Show SPRINGVILLE SPRINKLES A Pleasure Yacht Country Hotels A misDeal On a Provo Caterer Sunday afternoon your representative I took a trip over to Springville one of the prettiest towns in this country but at the present time duller than a fog in winter There is no money here Business Busi-ness is very quiet yet the outlook for a prosperous summer is encouraging While in Springville THE DEMOCRAT man picked a few items which may not be entirely without interest Mr John Dallin is building a pleasure yacht which he expects to launch on Utah Lake about the last of this month The boat will be 130 feet long and eight feet in the beam It will differ in some particulars from any other boat in Utah When completed and riding over the waves she will be a sightly craft The boat is being built with the intention of accommodating accom-modating pleasure parties on the lake and its completion will be followed by building a number of smaller ones for the same purpose The first trip for the yacht to make is to be to a point on the southwestern shore where a party of Tintic people will be taken aboard and enjoy a sail on the lake before returning to this town Over a hundred Springville men have been engaged by Will Sharp to cut ties for the railroads Most of them have already al-ready gone to the mountains Mr N 0 Groesbeck informed your correspondent that work on the salt petre and zokerite mines he discovered near P V Junction is to be commened on the 1st of May when thirty men will be set to work with suitable machinery of the most approyed kind It is said that oil is sure to be found below parafine forma tion and therefore it is the companys intention to bore for oil in the near future fu-ture Mr Thomas Dallin father of C E Dallin Utahs famous young sculptor says his son is now teaching modeling in one of the Boston schools There is but one trueblue Democrat in Springville and he the brethren put in the jug for hurrahing for Cleveland Springville is an unhealthy place for Democrats There are a few cases of diphtheria here but all of them are of a mild type Last Sunday old Bishop Smoot said in the meeting house Brethern and sisters if we were of one mind we could drive all the Gentile merchants out of our Territory Ter-ritory in one year it is our money that feeds and clothes them If the wily old Bishop had told the truth he would have said If the Mormons should stop working for the ungodly and the ungodly un-godly should stop dealing with our people peo-ple hundreds of us would be living on the border of starvation within twelvemonths twelve-months That kind of a statement would have been the truth while what Smoot did say was nothing more nor less than pap to deceive the pecple i I If there is anything that a traveling man delights to see but so seldom has I I tho privilege to behold it is a decent and wellkept country hotel In Utah there are a few very few such but many that would almost be a disgrace to the I I Middle Ages In Springville I found at least one house that is a good stopping I place and that is the Harrison Hotel than which there is no better public house outside of Salt Lake City The rooms are all furnished in elegant style and so arranged that they can be occupied occu-pied singly or in suites On the first floor there are nice parlors a commodious commodi-ous sample room and a large dining hall in which are served sumptuous and splendidly cooked meals Terms by day or week are yey reasonable and as the hotel is opposite the D R G depot it is handy for travelers to drop off the rain walk across the street and be entertained enter-tained in a firstclass country hotel Late Monday evening Johnny Deal the genial proprietaire of the Provo D R G hotel walked from Spring yule to Provo He was soon after followed fol-lowed by one of the Cluff brothers and the traveling man of THE DEMOCRAT who had not proceeded far on their way when they saw a man riding a horse as for dear life Boldly he rode and well When having nearly caught up with Deal he turned his steed down a lane leading to the railroad track on which we all three were counting the ties and dashed down the track shouting to Deal Put out leave the track the deputies are after you His disgust can easier be imagined than discribed when Johnny turned around the wouldbe warner knew him and saw that he had made a mistake Striking his spurs into the horses flanks he disappeared in the evenings glooming gloom-ing But Deal was so overcome with the idea that he should be taken for a cohab that he fainted the track then and thar When we came up to him he lay across the track his hands folded across his breast but a most disgustful expression as it were disfigured his countenance With the aid ot a smelling bottle we soon brought him to but he walked the rest of the way in silence and apparently in sorrow MILO ZIP PROVO April 12th |
